Tonight, I am proud to have earned the support needed to become our party’s nominee.
Over the next few months, I’ll be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything on the line. I fully intend to unite our party and our nation, and defeat Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/Bsq3N6pMAi

Key Democrats like Nancy Pelosi came out for Harris as potential rivals stood aside. Biden’s PAC Future Forward says it collected $150 million in 24 hours for Harris, which comes along with $80 million in small donations and $91 million unspent by Biden’s existing war chest. Enough for a bitter fight…
Now that the party has gone against recommendations for an open race it has the option to formally install Harris before the Democratic National Convention in mid-August. Governors are eyeing up that empty running mate slot. Can you hear the laughter yet?
